[INDO SUB] The Story of Xing Fu EP25 | Zhao Liying / Liu Wei | YOUKU
[The Story of Xing Fu] [Episode 25] This seems too formal. Hey. Halt. What are you doing? Visitors’ vehicles are not allowed. We are here to pick up Mr. Xu. There are so many Mr. Xus. Throw a stone and it could hit two. Which Mr. Xu do you mean?
The director of the Cadre Office of Organization Department, Mr. Xu. Still, you can’t enter. It’s the rule that no visitors’ vehicles are allowed. We’ve spoken to Mr. Xu. He will be right down. We’ll just pick him up and leave. How many times do I have to repeat myself?
No visitors’ vehicles are allowed! It’s the rule. Move your car to the side. Go on. What about I give Mr. Xu a call? Call him after you move the car, okay? Go on, hurry up. Another car is coming. Move it. But… But people might say I have no regard for rural affairs.
That won’t be good. Hello. Mr. Yu. Mr. Xu. Are you here? Yes. Alright. Gosh. They insisted that I do the ribbon cutting. It’s too troublesome to go to and fro. -Are you downstairs? -Yes. Okay. I’ll be right down. Okay. Mr. Xu. Here. Gosh. Why didn’t you wait inside? Hello, Mr. Xu.
We were supposed to pick you inside. But that guard wouldn’t let us in. Sorry about that, Mr. Xu. This way. Who is it? Mrs. Xu. What brings you here? Mr. Xu wanted to see me. Okay. Go ahead. I’ll go in. Go on. Is it Qingzhi? Come in. Mr. Xu.
Did he really say that? Mr. Xu. My brother is a simpleton. I’ll talk to him. I won’t stoop to his level. But I really cannot let him continue working there. Can’t you give him another chance? I will let him know. Do not take it
As if I’m picking on him over a small matter. I helped him get this job. Was it easy? Frankly speaking, security personnel should be hired through open recruitment. It was because you were out of options. But him? He went around telling everyone that we are related. His work attitude is improper.
His relationship with colleagues is bad. The security chief had hinted to me twice. If this continues and something happens, it will impact me directly. Mr. Xu. I get it. My brother is not sensible. It’s caused you trouble. I apologize to you on behalf of him. This is not the main reason
I wanted to see you. Then…? Look. He’s lost his job. He can’t be doing nothing at home. So, he will go to you again. And you’ll have to do everything you can to help him get a job. Qingzhi. No matter what, you must not use
Your power as the mayor’s secretary to get him a job. No way. I understand. In this world, there is something that you can do and cannot do. As for using power for personal gain? That’s the greatest landmine. This isn’t a piece of advice. It’s a warning. It’s a grave matter.
Don’t worry, Mr. Xu. Qinglai. Why did you do it? You did it on purpose, didn’t you? What did I do? What’s the matter, Qingzhi? Xingfu. A new aged care was built in Yani’s father’s hometown. It was from donations given by those working outside the town. Yani’s father donated too. And,
He has the highest position among the donors. So the county invited him to go and do the ribbon cutting. Mr. Xu really looked forward to it. Isn’t it something to be proud of? But the car from the county reached the entrance of the Municipal Council and got stopped by Qinglai.
He just wouldn’t let them in. What? Did I do anything wrong? Aren’t you a man of principle? The rule says no visitors’ vehicles are allowed in. And no waiting at the gate. It’s written in black and white. Is stopping them from entering all you did? What did you tell them?
What did he say? They said they were there to pick up Mr. Xu. And Qinglai said, the Municipal Council has multiple Mr. Xus. Throw a stone and it could hit two. What kind of words were those? Am I wrong? There really are several Mr. Xus at the Municipal Council.
How would I know which Mr. Xu he meant? Lying through gritted teeth, aren’t you? Huh? You’re obviously trying to embarrass Mr. Xu. He got you the job. Not only are you not grateful, but you also treated him like this. What do you think they’d think of us?
They can think about whatever they want. I won’t suck up to him. At his age, he is still only a department director. What’s so great about that? I’m like an electrical pole to him. He always ignores me. Since he ignores me, why should I care about what he thinks?
So he complained to you? Bring it up then! A great department director he is. So petty. What’s done is done. Let him be. Fine, Qinglai. You can quit. Qingzhi. You… Can’t you forgive him this time? It’s hard to get a job in the city. I was hoping to bring our son here
Once we earn enough money. Xingfu. It’s not me wanting him to quit. Mr. Xu doesn’t want him to work there anymore. Rather than being fired, it’s better if Qinglai resigned on his own. Qingzhi. Sit down and talk. I’ll get you some water. I’m not going to quit.
Go ahead and fire me if he dares. Qinglai. Can’t you consider my relationship with Yani? Mr. Xu is very angry about what happened. But he didn’t mention it to Yani and Mrs. Xu and spoke to me in private. If you butt heads with him, he will surely tell Yani and her mom.
Yani is not the biggest worry. But Yani’s mom has never liked me much. Then let her be. So if it’s not her daughter, you will be forced to be single? What are you saying? Let me speak! Tell me, what have you done for the family? I’m asking you.
You’re always going on about Yani. Is losing a marriage candidate a bigger deal than your own family? Besides, you chose to date her all because she… Her father is a county magistrate, right? Turns out her father isn’t the magistrate. Even if he was, he wasn’t going to give our family a push.
Then what’s the point of marrying the woman? Qinglai! You’re in no position to talk about Yani and me. I know. Over the years, I’ve owed a lot to our family, to you. I can pay them back myself. But I won’t let you criticize Yani! And don’t you use your so-called ideals
To speculate how other people act. When I met Yani, I didn’t even know who her father was! Just quit the job. Okay. I’ll quit. I’ve been wanting to for a while anyway. But if I quit, Qingzhi, you will still get me a job. Qinglai. I don’t have the ability. Qinglai. Xingfu.
If you need any help with living expenses, I, Wang Qingzhi, can skimp on meals just to help you. But my hands are tied if it’s about work. Aren’t you working as a secretary for a high-ranking official? Qinglai. My boss isn’t a high-ranking official. Even if he was,
It’s wrong for me to use the position to get things done. If you’re willing to work hard, you will surely make money. Look at Xingfu. She’s doing pretty well, isn’t she? Xingfu, I have something to do. I have to go. Qingzhi. Qingzhi! I helped you get to where you are.
Now that I’m in need, you’ll just ignore me, huh? Fine! I’ll quit tomorrow. After I quit, I’m going to pay your beloved father-in-law a visit. Wang Qinglai! Are you done? When did you become like this? He helped you get a job. Rather than being thankful,
You tried to embarrass Yani’s father in front of him? Are you proud of that? Go on. Let me see it. You’re a grown man. Can’t you survive without your little brother? Since coming to the city, you’ve been complaining about everything. Yes. The reason we’re here is more or less because of me.
It’s fine that you’re upset with me. But did you have to fight with your own brother and make trouble for his father-in-law too? Are we all in your debt or what? Hello? What is it, Xingfu? Xingyun. Can you do me a favor? Help me look for a job. What do you mean? Xingfu.
Senior Guan just secured a big case. You can’t leave now. It’s not for me. It’s for Qinglai. Qinglai? Isn’t he working as a security guard? It’s a long story. He quit. Just keep an eye out for me. Xingfu. If it’s a job for you, I’d be more than willing. But…
You know how Qinglai is. He’s never held a serious job. It’s going to put me in an awkward position if I were to recommend him to someone. You could’ve just said no. No need to explain. It’s fine. Bye. Wait, Xingfu. I… Xingfu. Send this by courier to this address. Okay. Hey, wait.
Hold on, Mr. Guan. This. Please sign it. Hold it down. Hello? This is Fangyuan Law Firm. We have a delivery. Please come and retrieve it. [Fangyuan Law Firm] Okay. We’re moving next month, right? Why have you started packing? I thought I should pack up the things we don’t use.
When the other place is ready, you could bring the stuff there bit by bit each time you go. A moving company could do that. We have to spend our money wisely. The movers will take the big items. We can take the small stuff. That does make sense. Come on. Place this over there.
Over there. Let me tape this up. Okay, move it there when it’s sealed. If only you could drive. Then we won’t have to move the boxes one by one. Right? It’ll be more convenient for you to move things. We won’t even need a moving company. Xingfu. Now,
You’ve moved from the countryside to the city. You should work hard to become a modern person. Do you know the standards for a modern individual? What? Computer literate. Can speak a second language. At the same time, one should know how to drive. Actually… Actually I know. I’ve checked online.
It’s expensive to learn to drive. Don’t worry about that. If you really want to do it, it doesn’t matter how expensive it is. Listen. I have a friend who teaches driving. I can ask him. He can give you a discount. What a coincidence. Indeed it is. As the saying goes,
One needs to be properly equipped before getting on the carriage. I guess I’d equip myself first and wait. That’s the spirit. I’ll give him a call. Hello? Xiaolong. I have a friend who wishes to learn to drive. [Yuzhong Job Market] [Job Market of Zhenhai District] Finding a job is so hard nowadays.
If I had known, I’d continue with my postgraduate studies. Yeah, I should’ve studied harder. Let’s try another place. Got everything? Mom! They’re back. They’re back? -Dad. -Dad, happy new year. Mom. Happy new year. Come on. Slowly. Be careful. Be careful. Dad. Here. I bought things for you. Thank you. You’re welcome. Mom!
Little Dou. Oh. Come on. Mom will hold you. Mommy is back. Little Dou. What a good boy. It’s your mommy. -Mommy. -Let me see. Let me see. It’s Mommy. I’m Daddy. Mom, why does he keep crying? He doesn’t know who I am. He’s unfamiliar. It will be okay in a few days.
Right, my good boy? Let his grandma hold him. Okay, go inside and rest. I’ve prepared the ingredients. Let’s get ready to cook. Come on, go in. -Go in. -Go in. Go inside. Let’s go inside. Dad. I’m going for a walk. What? Where are you going? I’ll take a look around.
Okay. Let him go. We’ll go inside. [Wan Village Wastewater Treatment Plant] Why did you come all the way here? I’ve been looking all over for you. I used to come here to play when I was a kid. Indeed. This place is quite beautiful. If such a spot existed in the city,
It would surely be a park. Let’s go. Go home and eat. Let’s go. Qingzhi. Open this. We’ll drink this tonight. Okay. Why aren’t those two back yet? Gosh. There you are. Qinglai. Another minute you don’t come back, I would’ve asked Qingzhi to go look for you.
Go wash up and get ready to eat. Okay. -Okay. -Dou. Go wash our hands. Dou, say “aunt”. Here. Dad. Okay. Nice. Qinglai. Here, one for you. Thanks, Mom. Dad, Qinglai. Wishing the family a happy new year. Happy new year. Happy new year… Happy new year. Slow down. You’ll get drunk.
Just drink. Finally, everyone is together. And it’s the Chinese new year. We should drink as much as we can. Everyone is back. This is how a family should be. Qingzhi. You should get married next year. I’m not in a rush, Mom. Take it easy. You should be. If you still won’t get married,
Xiuyu would get ahead of you. Mom, what are you saying? I thought you’re seeing someone. No! Xingfu. How are you guys doing in the city? Not too bad. That’s good. You two should pay Mr. Wan a visit tomorrow. At the same time, you could inform Mr. Wan
That Qinglai would like to work at the plant. See if it’s possible. I don’t want to work at the plant. Then, just stay in the city. Okay? Eat. I don’t want to stay in the city either. You don’t want this, and you don’t want that. Then what is it you want? Mommy.
He called you mommy. He recognizes you now. Don’t drink so fast. It’s not good for you. Have some food. Dad, drink up. Go on, eat before it gets cold. Happy Chinese new year! Xingfu. It’s lit. Come on. Look. Oh. It’s lit. Beautiful! -It’s the Chinese new year. -It’s the Chinese new year!
Happy Chinese new year! Qinglai, Xingfu. Good to see you two. Mr. Wan, wishing you a happy new year. Yes, thank you. Come on, greet the old sir. Give the boy a red envelope. Here’s Mr. Wan. Here you go. Here. A red envelope for you. Thank Mr. Wan. Prosperity for the new year.
Thank Mr. Wan. You didn’t have to bring gifts. -Come on, take a seat. -Sit. I’ll put them here. Come on, Xingfu, sit here. Qinglai can sit there. Okay. How long will you stay here? Two or three days. We wanted to see our boy. Everyone says that. To see their children.
What about the elderly? -We visit them too. -Altogether. Come on. All you young people are the same. Once you leave, you don’t come back. Our Chuanmei is the same. She’d call back once in a while. But a phone call just isn’t the same as meeting face-to-face. When you guys
Reach my age, you’d understand. Nothing is more important than family. Your wife, kids, and a warm house matter more. Mr. Wan. I didn’t think you’d say such a thing. If you only cared about your wife, kids, and a warm house, Wan Village wouldn’t be what it is today. That’s a different matter.
Times have changed. If we didn’t seek new opportunities elsewhere, there would be no food to eat. Now the residents of Wan Village don’t have to worry about their next meal. Young people leaving for better opportunities is a good thing. But, do not forget why you’re doing it.
Don’t dig yourself into a hole in the process and bring harm to your family. That wouldn’t be worth it. No matter how you venture and how far you go, you should always come home often. Look. In the blink of an eye, the boy has grown so much. You two
Should spend more time with him. Right? Time flies. You’re a smart person, Xingfu. Qinglai is an honest man. You have an inquisitive mind and you’re opinionated. This has to be taught as soon as possible. Grow alongside him. Then next time, the kid will also be successful. Am I right? I’ll put this outside.
Okay. You’ve seen the photos, right? The environment is pretty nice. Yes, on the right. The eastern suburb land acquisition dispute is in the bag. The industry is paying close attention to this case. No worries. I’m well prepared for it. Everyone. May I have your attention? We have a few words to say. Xingfu!
Where is Xingfu? [Fangyuan Law Firm] Coming. Slow down. First of all, I’d like to represent Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, and Xingfu to welcome our new colleagues into the big Fangyuan family. We are an organization led by friendship, joy, ideals, and gusto. Moving forward, I hope we’ll be able to grow together
And reach greater heights. Yes! We’ve prepared a gift basket for all our staff. It’s placed in your desk drawer. Really? Go on. You two get one too. Mr. Guan! I want to show you something. What is it? [Driving license] Congrats. You can finally drive. A newbie. So long as you’re a safe driver.
Mr. Guan. Now I’m equipped. When will I be able to put it to use? Ms. Xingfu. Do you mean to say the company needs to get a new car so that you could put your license to use? Not to that extent. But it took me so long to learn.
If I don’t drive for a long time, I might forget. Tomorrow is Saturday. You’ll work overtime. You’ve been sitting here for a while. I’m a lawyer, remember? My time is money. I’m expensive. Can you just start driving? It’s my first time. Mr. Guan. Are you sure I can drive your car?
I told you, drive. But if I wreck it, I won’t be able to pay for it. Ma’am, I’ve said it countless times. You don’t have to pay. I have insurance. The car is insured. But am I insured? Okay, fine. I’ll start. I’m going to drive. Don’t be nervous. I’m not.
No reason to be. Go on and start. Turn on the ignition. Put it into drive. Look in front. Mr. Guan. Thanks for today. You helped me practice driving. No need to thank me. You knowing to drive is a good thing for me. It’ll be more convenient. Right. I can be your chauffeur.
You want to be the chauffeur? So how many roles do you have now? If you hire me as the chauffeur, then I’ll be the cleaner, receptionist, and chauffeur. Then, perhaps you could give me a pay raise. Want more money, do you? What are you doing? So you know where home is. I told you, didn’t I? Guan Tao is teaching me to drive, so I’d be back late. Sure, go wild. Looks like you’re about to get ahead of yourself. Are you asleep? Let me tell you something.
Today, I drove on a big road for the first time. I was so nervous. The road… You drove. Good that you can drive. Go to sleep. It’s late. Qinglai. Get up and eat. Come on. Wake up. Don’t touch me. It hurts. What happened? What is this? Did you get into a fight?
What fight? Then why is there a bruise? The goods fell on me while I was moving them at the station. Does it hurt? Your arm is injured. Maybe you should take a rest today. I can’t afford to. Morning, modern person… Morning, Mr. Guan. What’s the matter? Nothing. What is it?
You seem kind of down. I… You could tell? It’s too obvious. What’s wrong? Mr. Guan. Can I ask you for a favor? Could you help Qinglai get a job here? Qinglai is still jobless? That’s right. He hasn’t found any permanent job. He only worked some one-off gigs,
Earning enough to pay for his next meal. And he got injured. It hurts me to see him being like this. That’s odd. He’s quite capable, isn’t he? Yeah. In our hometown, he always did physical work. He never complained. I don’t know why, but after coming here, he is unable to settle down.
He can’t find any suitable jobs. You suddenly asked me like this. I… Our law firm is expanding. Work has increased. If we were still at our old office, you could manage the front desk and menial work by yourself. But the way it is now, it’s not going to be sustainable.
We were thinking about hiring a handyman specifically. Do you think Qinglai can do it? Right, why haven’t I thought of it? Qinglai can… He can do all the menial work. But make sure you get this, Xingfu. Qinglai will be paid the handyman’s salary. Though it might be more than what you’ve gotten,
It’s still a low sum. Think about it. Mr. Guan. What about you pay Qinglai the receptionist’s salary and I’ll take the handyman’s salary. I will continue to be the receptionist. The two of us can switch. That won’t do. A role’s salary is fixed. The receptionist is paid 4,000 a month.
The handyman gets 2,500. You agreed. Yes. But Qinglai is prideful. I worry that when he finds out I earn more than him, he won’t want to do it. We’re a married couple anyway. We’re in the same boat. As long as the company doesn’t have to pay more, it’s fine, right? Xingfu. Humans
Can become spoiled. You really shouldn’t spoil him like this. We’re husband and wife. Looking after each other’s interest is only right. You want to be a modern person, right? Then you should live according to modern family ideals. I’m telling you it’s not right to continue on like this. It’s against the rule.
You’re only harming him and yourself. A married couple should be honest with each other. Even if it’s with the best intention. Besides, the law firm has its own rules. The handyman gets 2,500 a month. Tell him that. He can come if he’s okay with it. The probation period is one month. Okay.
Get ready. We have an appointment to get to. Oh, okay. Morning, Mr. Guan. Morning. It’s still early. You drive. But it’s more crowded in the city center. I… You have to go through this stage sooner or later. What’s the matter, Ms. Xingfu? Scared? Why should I be scared? I’ll drive.
It’s not my car anyway. Hello? Xingfu, you have to get back here. The boy has a high fever! Medicine didn’t work. He convulsed just now and scared the heck out of me. We’re taking him to the village health center. Please hurry back! Okay, I’ll go right away. What’s the matter? Mr. Guan.
Can I take the day off? My son has a high fever and spasmed. I need to hurry back. Here’s the car key. Get in the car. Get in. Okay. Mr. Guan. You can drop me off at the bus terminal. What bus terminal? This is urgent. I’ll take you right to Wan Village.
It is the quickest. Don’t you have an appointment in the afternoon? That’s… It’s fine. Mr. Wang can take over. Hello? Qinglai. [Treatment Area] Dad. -How is the boy? -Xingfu. You’re back. How is he? The doctor said the spasms were caused by the fever. The fever has gone down. But he has to be monitored for a night. If the fever persists through the night, then… he has to be transferred. Xingfu is here? Come on.
I’ve never seen a child become so hot. He was convulsing non-stop. I was so scared. We wouldn’t have called you back if it weren’t so serious. Oh. Mr. Guan. Where is Qinglai? Qinglai is on his way back. When you called me, I was with Mr. Guan on official business.
He saw how anxious I was and offered to drive me back here. Goodness. We’re always troubling you. It’s nothing. Thank you so much. Dad, Mom. Why don’t you two go back and rest? I’ll stay here. Okay. Okay. Well… Mr. Guan. Thanks for your help. Take a break before you go back. Dad, Mom.
Is there anything to eat at home? Yes. Mr. Guan drove me here. He hasn’t eaten anything. Yes, there’s food. Come to our house. Eat and rest. It’s another 2 to 3 hours to drive back. Xingfu. I’ll stay here. The kid is still under medical observation. If anything happens,
It will be more convenient having a car around. No need to worry about me. I will take care of myself. That’s a good idea. We will go and prepare first then. Thank you. Thanks. Dou. It’s my fault. I… wasn’t able to be with you. It caused you to suffer. When you wake up,
You can give me a good beating, okay? Here, Xingfu. Have some water. Thanks. Xingfu. Don’t worry too much. The doctor already said that the boy’s fever has gone down. He just needs some rest. He might be better after he has a sound sleep. I hope so. Mr. Guan. Xingfu. How is it?
The fever is gone. He had a blood test. There aren’t any problems. Let’s wait for him to wake up. Hello, Mr. Wu. My apologies. I couldn’t make it this afternoon. How did it go with Mr. Wang? Yes, sure. I will make it up to you. Have you eaten? No. It’s late.
Why hasn’t Mr. Guan gone back? The doctor said Dou’s condition hasn’t stabilized. He has to go to the Children’s Hospital if anything happens. Mr. Guan has a car. It’s more convenient. So he stayed. Everything looks fine now. You should ask him to go back. He’s been out and about the whole day.
It’s not safe to drive at night. Let him sleep at our house for today. Qinglai, listen. I spoke to Mr. Guan. I asked him if you could work at the law firm as a handyman like I did before. It’s 2,500 a month. Will you do it? Sure. You… You agreed without hesitation.
Why would I say no to 2,500? I… I was worried you’d think it’s too low and wouldn’t come. That’s true. Then, don’t tell other people I’m earning less than you. That’ll solve it. Of course I won’t tell others. Why would I? It’s fine then. I’ll do it. ♪Maybe your life was broken♪
